Hi Dayna
I'm not sure how to understand what you mean with "apps portion"
To your thought: this could work, but also results in a more complicated procedure for maintenance which I try to avoid with jOpenSim. Another reason why I would like to find another solution is that I try to keep jOpenSim usable for most possible scenarios of OpenSim grids:
Imagine someone wants to create a grid and give others the possibility to connect their simulator(s) to this grid (somehow like OSgrid works). Having my own simulator with my own database I would not even want to give away my access data for the database to the grid master ... god knows what other secrets I have stored there
My current toughts go this direction: what if I create some C# module (dll file) for the simulators that will register with jOpenSim and perform land maintenance issues via XMLRPC calls from jOpenSim. On jOpenSim side I could add some sort of ACL that connects registered users to registered simulators where they can administrate land on those simulators.
I'm currently trying to get jOpenSim to Joomla 3.x (which already takes ages due to lack of time I'm afraid) where I would like to make some tests for this feature then
